2 sides of the same coin…..Skenes and Detmers
1968 - not only known for the Democratic Convention but the year of Gibon, Mcclain and the 5 inch mound drop Dicuss how this relates with the present day throwing motion
2014 - Insight
From his vantage point in the New York Mets' broadcast booth, former NL MVP Keith Hernandez has an unusual analysis and an equally drastic solution. “They should get rid of four teams,” he said. “Too many players. There's too much dilution of talent. The pitching's not better. It's the same.”
“Everybody's throwing 109,,” said Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, exaggerating only slightly.
Dr. David Altchek, the Mets' top physician, said a lower mound “should decrease the force as the body gets less far ahead of the arm.”

Look at Analytics
Reader: still can't figure out what Aaron Boone was or wasn't thinking a week ago Friday at the Stadium against the Tigers. At 1-1 in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees had Alex Verdugo on third, Giancarlo Stanton on second when Boone replaced Stanton with pinch runner Taylor Trammel. Trammel is faster, than Stanton. So it seemed to make sense. Except for the fact that Stanton wouldn't have even had to move. If Verdugo scores from third, the game is over. If the game enters, say, the 11th, Trammel would be batting for Stanton.“Must be some genius analytics beyond my mental capacity.”
